SewinCaster Fly Lines By SewinCaster Fly Fishing ~ Sea Trout

Illtyd Griffiths .......wrote.

Sink tip lines have for many years been a favourite with the most dedicated sea trout anglers. Many, myself included, were very disappointed with many of the lines available commercially due mainly to a â??tip heavyâ?? feeling on casting, leading to poor control and presentation.

For many years I resorted to cutting and splicing fly lines to aid turnover and presentation and achieved this by splicing lighter sinkers to heavier floaters most often AFTM 8 floaters to AFTM 6 sinkers. These lines performed well as casting lines but unfortunately the fine tip did not aid the turnover of larger flies, especially Tubes or Snake lures.

Four years ago I decided that a new approach was needed to address this problem. After many prototypes had been tested by myself and friends, I eventually solved the problem and developed the SewinCaster range of lines which I feel covers all the needs of both the addicted sea trout angler and occasional fisher. The tips of the lines have been weight balanced to give smooth, hinge free casting, essential for all forms of fly fishing.

• Developed in AFTM 8wt only - allows all the versatility needed by the night fisherman.
• Aids rod loading on short casts.
• Tested with modern, and not so modern, rods and works well on either AFTM 7wt or 8wt rods.
• Three density compensated tips allow the fly to be fished at a specific depth across a range of river conditions and creates a direct striking path to the fly/ fish.
• Casting, made easy due to the floating belly and running line of these weight forward lines.
• Front Taper aids the turnover of large flies.

Whilst developed specifically as the first dedicated lines for sea trout fishers, the SewinCaster lines perform well when fishing single handed for salmon and saltwater species in a temperate climate.
